Abstract (en)
A valve stem seal comprises an elastomeric moulding adapted to lip seal against a valve stem and, at its lip sealing region, is helically ribbed on its stem-adjacent surface to define lubricant control passages. The elastomeric moulding also provides downstream of its lip seal, in terms of lubricant flow, a control collar adapted to contact the valve stem to provide both a compensation for lateral loading of the valve stem resulting from rocker action and a secondary seal. The control collar may be integral with the elastomeric moulding but it is preferred that it be constituted by a plastics ring, preferably but not exclusively formed of PTFE, held within the elastomeric moulding in non-bonded relationship.
